The British Library is working with the UK public sector partnership, Living with Environmental Change (LWEC), to enhance access to and co-ordinate discovery of environmental information, with an initial focus on flooding research. Flooding is a major environmental concern across the globe and is likely to be more so as a result of climate change. Focusing on a specific domain enables the British Library and its partners to model service concepts with a well-defined, cross-sector research audience.

The presentation describes Envia (Environmental Information Access and Discovery), a pilot project based on Dspace open source repository software, which aims to facilitate the discovery of difficult-to-find environmental information.
